i think it's about needing something more than dependence on religion and faith when it's teachings and meanings apply more to the world than the belief that mythical characters once existed. Or something.

it might be about god and that as opposed to "hands of above" they would rather rely on tangiable connections to people. That sharing different hearbeats, aka a spiritual/physical connection with an individual, is better than reliance on some sort of higher being. Maybe...
